Heritage Bagan Hotel

Heritage Bagan Hotel

8/10 Good
"Super close to the airport …. Walk - don’t get a taxi (15,000). It’s flat and 7 Minutes max Hotel buildings and grounds are nice as is the pool area. Room was spacious and nicely appointed. Nice white sheets and towels. Pool area is lovely. But common in Myanmar I’ve found, staff at the pool area, bar, never ask you if you need a towel, don’t ask if you want a drink … it’s a bit odd given they are standing around. Breakfast is good and for better when more folks were staying there. Food from the restaurant (is dinner) is all reasonably priced and lots of options- which is great as there is nothing walking distance! Hotel can organise your balloon trip and e-bike hire too (both I highly recommend) Def recommend this place, it’s a bit far from everything else but it is super nice "
